PSYWAR-01, how are you brother!!! Still working in the last place we saw eachother? Send me a PM, or write to my AKO (which I can give you on a PM once you write).

Anyway, I looked into the issue of SATMO using a contact "The Reaper" made me aware off.

Here's the deal. If you are an SF officer (MAJ or below), and your chain of command is willing to release you, you can get assigned to SATMO. SATMO is essentially part of TRADOC but managed by SWC due to a Memorandum Of Understanding between the two. So, you have the choice of wearing the SWC patch, or the TRADOC patch (according to what I was told at the SATMO office).

Anyway, there are JPATs and PATT assignments in the usual South American spots. These assignments are between 12 and 15 months in length. There may be longer ones, but I don't know how long they are. Also, SATMO has assignments in other parts of the world as well.

Once you sign into SATMO, you can be on a plane to your assignment within a week of in-processing. You might end up working in an embassy, or in an out station. I don't want to get into other stuff because of OPSEC. But, if anyone else looks up "SATMO" in a search in here, they'll bump into this. BTW, the SATMO office IS in Fort Bragg, NC. I was ignorant enough not to know this two weeks ago. But, then again, I've been busy commanding an ODA. That's all I got.

PS - Began to write another installment for my SF "The Experience" series. OPTEMPO has killed my writer's time for the last year. I should have another installment prior to my next deployment (very soon). Take care, warriors.
